Don't become a writer because someone you know writes. It doesn't work that way. Becoming a writer is like falling in love. You can't just fall in love because someone you know is in love.
Become a writer if your instincts tell you to. Follow your heart. Never copy someone's ideas. Never copy someone's thoughts. It's like stealing someone's identity. It hurts.
Write if you can make your own heart speak. Write if you can hear your silence scream. Write if you can see through darkness. Write if you can look beyond horizons. Write, not just to call yourself a writer. When you decide to be a writer, you are stepping into a new world. This world is dark, but beautiful. This world is dangerous, but can save you.
Remember, writing a clichéd thought won't make you a writer. If you write only using your pen and papers, please close your pen. You have to write with your heart and soul. That's how it works.
Writing can make you happy. Writing can make you sad. It can even make you get addicted. So beware. Write, because your heart took you here. Not because you wanted to step inside this world because you saw someone stepping in. Make mistakes. Never regret. Learn. And above all, write.
